Iremis:
These guys are magicians

My hometown school, Mater Amabilis girls school (mission school) is another school where Obi did magic. Today, the school is probably one of the best in the country. The school won the award of best secondary school in Anambra last year. They have continued to rake in awards both national and international. These students are traveling the world and gaining experience.

I love my state with passion!

There are "magicians" in every tribe. They just don't beat their chests.

This year alone below...non of the news below made front page. Infact those boys that beat 33 other countries were in news all over Africa from Kenya to Ghana.

How did he do the magic

Mater Amabilis Secondary School, Umuoji was established in 1962 and owned & managed by the Catholic Church not Anambra state Government.

The school was languishing in squalor where there was no water, dormitory were not maintaining, no electricity, laboratory has no materials and most of the structures are broken down. But soon as Obi handed it back to the mission and funded the school to tilt things immediately turned around. The school today is a pride of Ndi Umuoji.

Even Queen of Rosary Onicha was not left alone. You need to visit our schools. We are proud to identify with our very own legend, Peter Obi.

viccy12:


The difference is that Anambra has consistently won both national and international awards both in science and other areas. I can list about 10 awards won by Anambra schools, students and teachers.

I understand your point and agree with you but Anambra is like the Brazil of education. We have consistently performed and haven't stopped on all measures. That's the difference.

Goodvibes007:

So when it was a public school, Anambra government under Obi turned it to rubbish.

I am sure he can consistently list several awards won by schools in both Lagos and Ogun state as well, but what's the point....? For bragging rights?

viccy12:


No, he can't because Lagos and Ogun haven't done the same work Obi did in Anambra. We are winning in every competition, exams etc. We are unstoppable. Tribalism doesn't produce excellence, hard work does. We have very intimidating profile in education. You are just an ant next to us and I meant no insult

Goodvibes007:

So when it was a public school, Anambra government under Obi turned it to rubbish. The moment it went back to the missionaries and they started charging good school fees that many Anambrans can't afford, then it became good.

So what about the other public schools that were not transfered like the ones talked about below. They did not seem to turn out well.

viccy12:


🤣 🤣 🤣

Are you no ashamed of yourself? What are you talking about. I just told you Obi returned these schools back to the mission and you are here writing nonsense. Abeg, get lost

opamoses1:

This was already on front page like 3 weeks ago.

Chest beating on top imagination at its finest. If I start posting awards won by Ogun and Lagos schools, Anambra would go and hide in shame 😂

viccy12:


I dare you compare Anambra to Ogun in education or anything other than your wasteful igr and get beaten to pulp. You think it's about tribalism. If you know you are not a coward try us!

opamoses1:

He returned it back to the mission and they started charging like big school fees 😂😂😂
So it's no longer public or owned by the government. So you are bragging on top privately funded institutions.
